John Spong is at it again, presuming to stand in judgment over the Bible. His newest rant is called "The Sins of Scripture". I haven't and won't read the book. I just wonder -- if the role of a Bishop is supposed to be to preserve and defend the faith, how is it that this guy is still tolerated in that role when he repeatedly alters and attacks the apostolic faith?
I've been thinking about leadership and the office of "overseer" and the failures in both congregational and episcopal forms of church government. It seems to me that when the office of overseer, bishop, district superintendent, etc., becomes an administrative position instead of a pastoral one, the battle is already lost.
